Description

"The 1989 is inkier/purple in color than the 1990, with an
extraordinarily sweet, rich personality offering up notes of smoke,
melted licorice, black cherries, Asian spices, and cassis.
Full-bodied and concentrated, it is one of the most powerful as
well as highly extracted Beaucastels I have ever tasted. It
requires another 3-4 years to reach its plateau of maturity, where
it should remain for at least two decades." (97 pts. Robert Parker,
Wine Advocate, Jan. 2003)

"Perhaps the greatest Beaucastel ever produced. Has the class
and structure of a great vintage of Mouton-Rothschild. Deep, inky
in color, with intense herb, plum, game and spice aromas, this
full-bodied wine has an explosion of fruit and an iron backbone."
(97 pts. JS, Wine Spectator, Oct. 1991)
